DULL AND sAGGING.
A Weak Market at the Opening Eaiiisr
Toward the Close.


New YoRK, Aug 9.-The stock market
to-day was dull, with general saggIng
tendency which developed into decided
weakness In spots, but the temper OF the
speculation changed for the better before
the close, and the final outcome OF the days
transactions was encouraging to the bulls
The waiting tendency was more pronounced
to-day, and the dealings, even more THAI
yesterday, were OF q purely professional
character. There were no developments In
telegraph matters, but the Ives Cincinnati
Hamilton and Dayton affair assumed u
more favorable aspect late in the day. to
which the market quickly responded. Tne
temper OF the room was bearish, and the
uufavorable reports from the west contlu.
ued, and this resulted In some selling Of
the grapgers, but there was very little spe-
cial feature to the market.
The opening was heavy TO weak, declines
from Yesterdays final prices extending H.
! per cent, though Missouri Pacific was spe-
cially weak with loss OF l per cent
The business was quiet, aud soon becime
dull, and after some slight advances further
fractional losses were established In the
early dealings, though these were nearly all
regained later. The last hour witnessed Il
sharp rally throughout the list, aud the
highest figures OF the day were touched AZ
the close, which was quiet, but strong.

one Danger of Ice water.

eff people must drink ice water" said
a chemist to reporter, 81 would advise
them to bottle the water and lay the bot
ties on the ice, rather than to place ice in
the water, for there is no doubt that al
most all the river and lake ice used in
New York contains large proportion of
bacteria. OF course, most of the species
encountered are harmless, but in Hudson
river water and ice there are the bacteria
of typhoid fever and the bacteria of sup
puration or pyHmia. This cannot be 9TH
erwise when You consider the number Of
hospitals in and near New York, the
drainage from which ends in the river. If
you must mix the ice and water then get
lake ice, for it is the purer of the two. Ice
cut from rivers in the vicinity of large
cities always contains numerous bacteria,
and to my mind the authorities should ex-
ercise supervision over the gathering of
such products.
''Ice really should be made by an arti-
fetal process, and then only distilled water
should be used. Freezing and low tenn
perature do not kill all species Of bacteria.
Suppuration and typhoid bacilla can be
killed only by boiling the water. There
fore, by taking The water that comes from
distillation and freezing it you can get ice
that might well be taken as standard for
purity. New York Mail and Express.

I have seen statement floating around
that a revision or new version of the Old
Testament has been a financial failure,
and the English speaking people every
where have practically declared that the
King James translation is good enough
for them. The revision Of the New Test
ament caught on as a novelty, being well
advertised and pushed by enterprising
publishers, but the new version Of the
Bible fell fat The publishers Of Eng
land and America have, however, made a
good thing of the revision IN the publica-
tion of what is known as parallel
Bibles, the old and new version being
printed in parallel columns. They come
q little higher, but as no one wants the
new version alone. It IS easy to sell the
double edition 10 a person wanting q
Bible at all.-BookseiIer in Globe Demo

Dyspepsia is dreadful. Disordered
liver is misery. Indigestion is foe to
good nature.
The human digestive apparatus is one
of the most complicated and wonderful
things in existence. 1t is easily put out
of order.
Greasy food, tough food, sloppy food,
bad cookery, mental worry, late hours,
irregular habits, and many other things
which ought not to be, have made the
American people nation of dyspeptics.
But Green's August Flower has done
wonderful work in reforming this sad
business and making the American peo
pie so healthy that they can enjcy their
meals and be happy.
Remember:--No happiness without
health. But Green's August Flower

peptic. Ask your druggist for bo tie -
